purchase in Australia. lithium-ion technologies. installed indoors. This report is a comprehensive analysis of the Australian energy storage market, covering residential, commercial, large-scale, on-grid, off-grid and micro-grid energy storage.
Under the high-growth scenario outlined in this report, more than 35,000 Australians could be working directly or indirectly in the energy storage industry in 2020. Under the low-growth scenario outlined in this report, around 20,000 Australians could be working directly or indirectly in energy storage in 2020.
Energy storage is seen by many as the next big change required in Australia’s electricity systems. Storage can solve challenges that range from smoothing the intermittency of renewable generation to providing power quality support, and managing peak demand for consumers. For further details, refer to Appendix 1 of the full report.
Since the release of the report three years ago, there has been a range of energy storage projects progressed in Australia. For example, in 2017, a large-scale energy storage facility in South Australia was constructed using Tesla’s lithium-ion battery system, with excellent results.
The report identifies 55 Australian large-scale energy storage projects which are either existing, planned or proposed. Excluding pumped hydro, these represent over 4 GWh of storage. 9 gigawatts (GW) of capacity have been completed, planned or are in the pipeline. Of those, 19 have been completed and another 36 have reached financial close.
CSIRO and Energy Networks Australia estimated that 1.5 million battery storage systems could be installed by 2020. The Smart Energy Council has developed three scenarios for uptake of energy storage – high, medium and low scenarios. We estimate that 150,000-450,000 energy storage systems could be installed by 2020.
